Where multicultural Australia comes together

Niz’s Journey to Australia and the Tales of Mullah Nasrudin

In Niz Jabour’s homeland of Iraq, stories and folklore are passed down through families. One popular character in these stories is Mullah Nasrudin, whose tales have amused and inspired people across Eastern Europe to Western China.

Niz Jabour came to Australia from Iraq as a refugee. He’s now a theatre maker who brings stories of his culture and life on Australian stages. He brings the stories of Mullah Nasrudin to La Boite Theatre in Brisbane from the 8th to the 17th of May.

Niz talks to us about the mythical Mullah Nasrudin and his own experiences that inspire his creative work.
